I would also like to remind everyone that it’s American Heart month. Since Aintee Connie passed away of a heart attack I would like to encourage everyone to check up on your heart and keep your heart healthy.

What is a Heart Attack?

A Heart attack is a sudden interruption in the heart’s blood supply. Every year more than 1 million Americans have a heart attack. A heart attack doesn’t always end in death.

Heart Attack Symptoms

oPain Pressure in the chest

oDiscomfort spreading to the back, jaw, throat, or arm.

oNausea, Indigestion, or Heartburn

oWeakness, anxiety, or shortness of breath

oRapid or irregular heartbeats

Women don’t always feel chest pain with a heart attack. Women are more likely than men to have heartburn, loss of appetite, tiredness or weakness, coughing, and heart flutters. These symptoms should not be ignored. The longer you postpone treatment, the more damage the heart may sustain.

I have also researched testing that you can have to detect conditions of the heart.

"AINTEE CONNIE"

WELCOME TO CONNIE'S PURSE

This blog is dedicated to my Aunt Connie who died suddenly at the age of 53 of a heart attack. I named this blog "Connie's Purse" because she had an eye for fashion and loved shoes and purses. As a Classy Lady she often had items you needed right in her purse. Just like most of the things we need in life are right beside us and we don't even realize it. Join Me in Connie's Purse as we keep her memory alive and discuss the life she loved.
